- Hi
-
- >>I'm fairly new to Amiga. Just need to know how to create a boot disk on an
- >>A500.
-
- WFM> First, there is a program in the sys:c directory (sys: is any disk you
- WFM> boot off of) called install. when you have your 500 booted, open the
- WFM> shell and when the prompt appears, put the floppy in that you want to
- WFM> make a new boot disk with and type:
-
- WFM> install df0:
-
- All you really need to do now is make a directory called "s" and in that put
- an startup-sequence, so type
-
- makedir df0:s
- ed df0:s/startup-sequence
-
- The contents of this should just load programs, for example if you wanted it
- to display a line of text and load a game it should read something like:
- "
- echo "Now loading, please wait"
- name_of_game
- "
- If you get stuck just get hold of some PD disks and see what they have on
- them (so long as they boot :))
